I think it's actually the Ozone created from the small electrical discharges (arching) inside the cap that causes the corrosion. MSD now has a small capped vent (black) in most if not all of their caps. They also changed the cap material to something called Rinite I believe and made them red. Another interesting thing here too, the Rinite cap material seems to not block some of the energy emissions wavelengths generated inside the cap the way the older black caps did...Immediately upon replacing my older black distributer cap my Lasar radar detector went crazy...Put the old black one back on, all false alarms went away...put the new one on...crazy again.
